Things we talked about at the bead store

Every day is different at the shop, of course, since the tone is set by so many things--what the staff is talking about among themselves, what customers are talking about, and topics that come up that are sometimes bead related, and sometimes not.

Today one bead-related topic was earring size relative to hair length. The standard rule of "short hair, small earrings, long hair, big earrings" was mentioned...not one that I necessarily agree with, and one that not a lot of beaders agree with, either. Beaders often have a "more is more" mindset, which may or may not be right, but in any case, we all seem to agree that big earrings are just fine, no matter if your hair is short or long. For myself, I find it sort of a shame that my now-longer hair hides them. When my hair was much shorter, I wore shoulder-dusters regularly--all the better to see them, my dear.

Less bead-related was the question of whether black shoes are permissable to be worn with navy. I went with no, though brown is worse, and red is ideal. I was reminded that not everyone has red shoes to wear with navy...not an issue in my particular universe, though I can see how it could be.

Stop in soon to see what the day's topic will be, or bring one of your own!

Yours in beads,

Janet

Janet, doesn't the U.S. Navy require black shoes? They look snazzy enough!
